I’m pleased to announce that Road Signs: Tales of the Surreal and Fantastic, my thirteenth short story collection and thirty-seventh book, has just been published and is available at numerous online venues. Links to some of the major booksellers are below. Here’s what it’s about:
When a hitchhiker returning from an extended trip abroad in the early 1970s crosses the United States, he plunges into a dark, surrealistic, frightening landscape from which there seems to be no escape.
After a worldwide plague has decimated their city, four children searching for sustenance enter a seemingly deserted mansion, only to find out that its owner, a madman seeking the alchemical secret to immortality, has modeled it after an elaborate ancient torture chamber.
In the aftermath of the official cancellation of Medicare, Social Security, and other government welfare programs, a destitute senior is relegated to an internment camp for old folks. There he discovers that all is not as it seems, and the recalcitrant elders have some tricks up their sleeves that they can use to deal with the pitiless system that has banished them from its midst.
In these and other provocative, mind-bending tales you’ll find alternative realities, future battlefields, enraged poltergeists, mythological mischief-makers, and freedom fighters on a far planet.
You can find it at these and other booksellers:

Hello John, I apologize for leaving a message here but my email said your yahoo email is no longer active. I saw your remembrance for Russell Bates on the SFWA website. I am doing a research project on the “Lost Stories” from Last Dangerous Visions that you mentioned in the remembrance. Now that Last Dangerous Vision was actually published this year, the rights to any stories that weren’t in it revert to the author/Estate. You wouldn’t by any chance know how I would reach Bates’ Estate to find out if they would ever publish/release the stories.
The email on the site IS active. Try again. I have something to say about this.
